Explanation Conducive To Books The Loop
This has been recommended to me by several friends here on GR, and while I trust their judgment...I still didn't expect to fall in love with this story as quickly as I did. Before the plot gets going, Evans introduces you to a cast of rich and varied characters that are alone worth reading the book for. I was so caught up in their lives that before I knew it I was surrounded by a plot of wolves and intrigue! The story was so realistic, there was quite a bit of detail of how the wolves live, how the various Wildlife crew members and biologists studied them, and also weaved through the story were stories about how they had been hunted and trapped for over 100 years in Hope, the city in which the story takes place. I recommend this very highly...it was at times gut-wrenching, beautiful, terrible and heroic. This was my first Evans, but it won't be my last!Mention Books As The Loop

This is a very emotional book. It gives you the ups and downs of wolves being reintroduced after almost becoming extinct. Evans does such a great job of giving both sides of the issue that you can easily see why it is such a controversy. His descriptions put you right in the middle of the story, very well done.Excellent read! very creative,interesting and an enjoyable storyline that was well research in animal up-bringing..a nice book for animal lovers also (paperback!)
Wolves ! But rather desultory follow up of the excellent Horse Whisperer.It's the Sixth Sense and Donnie Darko effect here, something great by mistake I don't know, but Evans after his first novel spent rest of his career trying to measure up or outdo his debut novel.
This one just didn't grab me. Had to force myself to continue as far as I did.
I so despise the books with animals, because the is always something cruel that happens to them.But overall I more or less liked the book. There were some extremely cinematic moments. The characters (at least most of them) were highly likable too. My favorite of them all was probably Eleanor. That is strange even for me, but she was probably the most adequate of them all.
After I finished Horse Whisperer, by Nicolas Evans, I read this one. Wolves are being reintroduced in areas next to cattle ranchers and the naturalists butt heads with the cattle barons. Great characters and setting.
"What is it about those animals that people hate so much?" "About wolves? I don't know. Maybe they are too much like us. When we look at them, we see ourselves. Loving, caring, social beings who happen to be terrible murderers." Eleanor considered this. ''Maybe it also comes from jealousy.'' ''In what way?'' ''That they are still part of nature and that we don't how to do that anymore.''Wow! I can't believe I only came across this book by incidence given the fact that the Horse Whisperer by
